Well, to make 3 years short (and this should probably be in "it happened to me"??!! This isn't earth shattering or anything but as I said, when it's happening to you and you know your family doesn't suffer from any mental problems (
) then it was scarey to me.
When we first moved in, a few things happened to me....like a door (which had tall carpet under it and wouldn't move unless you manually moved the door) was opened twice the same night after I'm absolutely sure I had closed it. I had the TV change channels on me the same night. I "felt" something come into the living room just about every night when I'd be watching foodnetwork or something non-ghostly. It would always come from the hallway and into the living room. Never went farther than right inside the door though. I'd always go right to bed....hey, you can have the living room thank you very much!
My daughter, who my husband and I never mentioned this stuff to because she stayed alone after school until we got home, suddenly started telling me about the "lady" that lived there (she was around 9 then). I said are you telling me we have a ghost and she says yes. I had told the thin air when I realized something was there to please not come around when my daughter was alone. So I asked my daughter if the "lady" came around after school and her reply was "no, she never comes around when I'm home by myself". I watched my daughter once watch something in the hallway. Her and I were watching a movie and suddenly she starts watching something in the hall (which was dark). She wouldn't tell me at first but finally she said she saw something go down the hall into her room. She said it was darker than the dark but was shaped like an old lady. She was scared but she said decided to sleep in her room anyway.
My son never slept in his room the whole time there but that was because of the "shadow ghosts" in his room?!! I believe that was different than the lady. My daughter said she asked the lady her name and the lady was telling her but she couldn't hear her (i.e. the lady's lips were moving but no sound was being made). She said she didn't "see" this w/ her eyes, but that the lady communicated like telepathically (not her word..I can't remember her exact word).
My husband had a shirt come up missing that we tore the house apart looking for, but it later appeared neatly folded on top of his stack of t-shirts...wasn't there days earlier. He also started talking to "me" one night (while he was working on something) and when I went to the living room to see who he was talking to he freaked cause he swore I had walked into the room and he was talking to me but of course...I hadn't been in there at the time.
Ok, not so short after all but those are the main things. It seemed my daughter had the most up close and personal experiences. I know what I felt and though I've never considered myself sensitive to the stuff, I know I felt 'something' almost every night walk into the living room. It was always when everyone had already gone to bed probably cause that's when I finally sat down and got to relax. But I know there was something there. It would scare me to death and I'd just go to bed. There were two doors into that living room, and I ALWAYS took the one the ghost didn't.
It was obviously not meaning to hurt anyone so my fear wasn't rational, but I'm just a big chicken.
This was a duplex built in the 40s in the historical district of our town by the way so I suppose it's not surprising there may be a ghost or two.
